and ' that evening, when the doolor came
home, be found them both seated by the
lire in the drawing -room, busy talking.
Letty's dark face was alt aglow with earnest
eloquence, and Pauline lay back in her chair
and listened with a quiet smile.
Pauline had been very illof late., woree
even than the dootor himself knew of ; her
alwaye slight form was painfully thin, and
her large, soft eyes were painfully brilliant.
With all her ill -health the twist and curl
never left her hair, and now it jay over the

She was very fair, very beautiful, more

delicate face. It spoke in hie voice, in the

He had gained hie own gate as he Spoke,
and he turned round to look at the , angry
see. ,
The great billows, rising, high, dashed
furiously on the sande add ' against the
rooks, their °rests shivering into foamy
whiteness. Far ons -se far se the eye
oould pierce through the thick darkness_
the waste of waters epread, heaving and
falling like a living thing -a terrible eight
-while over all played the sickly glare ofHage
the lightning.
Dr. Lennard turned hastily from it and,
turning, stumbled over something in the
path. Steeping, be saw that it was a women.
lyingprone on hie doorstep, her light dress
(dinging closely to her, her long hair trailing
over the ground. He pushed the door open,
and lifting her in his arme, waded her into
the lighted hall, thinking with pity that it
was some poor night•wanderer who had
loot her Way, and perhaps fallen from ex-
haustion
As' the light tell fully on the figure, the
doctor staggered under his burden, and a
deadly °hill Mole over him. He recognized
the pale silk dram, the flossy golden hair.
No need to raise the ell% white hto know
that it was hie wife.
The banging, to of the hall door, and the
litekeieief'theTamplititheriebugli Witaliiiileed-
in, roused him, and he carried her up to
her own room, and, laying her on the bed,
rang for Judith. The old woman 061110,
and her fresh face blanched suddenly at the
sight that met her eyes.
• Mrs. Lennard lay on the bed, her halide
tightly clinched, her facie rigid, with her
wet-hair-faliingln-ternished-massee-round
it. Her pale silk dreas was stained with
sand and water, and of her oboes one wae
missing ,altogether, while the other had
plainly been up peat the ankle in a sand
puddle, and standing by the bedside, more
wornand haggard than the old woman had
ever seen him, even in these last miserable
years, was Dr. Lennard, looking quietly but
sternly down on the Waage figure of hie
wife. •
But he did not stand long thus. No
stranger oonld have gone about restoring
consciousness more promptly and coolly,
and when, after a weary time, life oame beck
to the still face, and the small hand e
trembled and unolosed, like a stranger he
left the room, and sent the boy for Dr.
Green.
Mre. Lennard opened her eyes on Judith'e
rugged face as it was bent over her pillow,
and, like one waking from a troubled dream,
she raised her head to look round on the
familiar objeets, as though to oonvirtee her-
self of the reality of the preeent. But even
that exertion wee too much; and as her
head touched the pillow again, shegave a
low, eharp ory, and with the ory came • a
rush of blood, staining her parehed lips,
and making her white face appear still more
ghaetly : .and Judith, °hailed into pity,
went hastily out, and called the doctor.
When he came his own fate was as white
and eet as the dying fame before him, for he
saw that she was dying.
When the blood had ceased to well out,
and Pauline was se well as she might ever
be, the dootor was stealing eoftly from . the
room to sealf his messenger bad returned,
but ehe put ons her hand and stayed him.
"Don't go," she whispered • " I am

in his, and stroked it tenderly, and though
the cold damp of its palm chilled him, he
gave no sign. Her eyes brightened with a
little of their old fire ae she looked actress
to where Letty sat in the shadow, her head
leaning against the mantel. .
, "Letty oarne over early in she afternoon
to dee me," she said," -and from then till

"It is not what would please me," ' she
said. "1* is what Dootor Green rays you
'require. I should not like to see you going

Too weak to be angry, Mrs.Lennard grew
peevish.
"1 °hall not leave Fenmore," she esid.
"1 am well enough to go to Lapland, if it it

"Well, well, then, Pauline, you Eihall," •
said She dootor, soothingly. " You know
yourself a change would do you good. But
if you took it unwillingly, perhaps half the
good would be lost."
Letty stayed ratherlite that night -later
than ehe usually did or oared to do then,
bus Mrs. Lennard had been loath to part
with her, and when she put on her hat and

and he lent.
Their ehorteetroad was across the sande;
and to -night,. with the moon shining, and
the eee calm and ae smooth as sheeted eil-

A still night, with a sultry breeze blowing
from the land that scarcely fanned the
